US plans to increase military support for Ukraine before Trump takes office

chicagotribune.com — November 13, 2024, 03:01 PM UTC

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken announced that President Joe Biden plans to increase military support for Ukraine in the coming months. This follows a recent missile and drone attack by Russia on Kyiv, marking the first such attack in 73 days. Blinken emphasized the U.S. commitment to help Ukraine defend itself against Russian aggression. He also noted North Korea's involvement, with up to 12,000 troops reportedly being sent to support Russian forces. Concerns are rising about potential changes in U.S. policy after Donald Trump takes office in January. Trump has criticized the current administration's aid to Ukraine and has indicated a desire to end the conflict quickly.
